The Fane of Lolth is a underground temple, set into the side of the cavern wall far above the cavern floor dedicated to the Queen of Spiders located in the southeastern section of Orthae Qu'lith. It can be found deep within the walls of the Underchasm, known as the Edge of the Underdark, the passageways and caves that are situated above the Eastdark.
The temple is comprised of a stone-floored hall with a vaulted ceiling, branching off from drow-dug tunnels and subterranean outposts. On either side of the temple's walls are a series of stone statues that each depict the likeness of a drow priestess carrying a staff in one hand, as her other was set forward as if to receive an item. Six lit braziers were set between the statues, five of which held blue flames while the sixth contained natural, orange-red fire. The entire main chamber of the temple is usually always lit with candles "forcing drow to revert to normal vision".At the head of the temple is a massive shrine that is comprised of dark metal and stone construction with a massive black obsidian spider hovering overhead as if hanging from spider webs. The shrine is set within an ominous-looking piece of drow metalwork, set in dark obsidian with a ritualistic stained glass window set in the back adorned with engravings and gems of violet hue.
The temple is a place of worship where drow can properly pay tribute to the Spider-Queen Lolth. It also houses at least one history book that outlines the ancient history of the Drow religion of the goddess Lolth.
